French Army Officer Trench Coat

French Officer's Overcoat

This is a genuine French Army officer's trench coat, a single-breasted, knee-length coat cut to go over a uniform or everyday clothes. It is made in olive green cotton-polyester and has a concealed button front, so the line stays clean from collar to hem. It suits collectors and reenactors who want authentic French kit, and anyone looking for a plain military overcoat for town wear.

Features

• Cotton-Polyester Shell — The blend pairs the feel of cotton with the strength and crease resistance of polyester.
• Concealed Button Placket — A fabric fly covers the front buttons, leaving only the top collar button exposed.
• Point Collar — The collar can lie flat or be turned up and closed at the throat against wind.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Buttoned straps on each shoulder, the traditional place for an officer's rank slides.
• Slanted Hand Pockets — Two angled welt pockets on the front panels sit at a natural height for your hands.
• Single-Breasted Cut — A straight, unbelted body that layers easily over a jacket or sweater.
• Knee-Length Coverage — The longer cut covers trousers through the thigh, as an overcoat should.
• Olive Green Colorway — A muted grey-green shade that matches French service dress and works with civilian clothes.

Original French Issue

The French Army issued this coat to its officers, and it carries the original cut, collar and epaulettes of that pattern. Each one has its maker's label inside the collar. Because it was built to the army's own specification and not a fashion brand's idea of it, you get honest military tailoring and real provenance.
